Yunshan, halfway up the mountain, is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. From a distance, it looks like a fairy.

In Haidai County, Yunshan is a famous local mountain, and Yunshan Temple is located here. There are nine Taoist priests and dozens of Taoist boys in the temple, and its power cannot be underestimated.

Yunshan Taoist Temple is very popular, but something bad has happened recently. Two Taoist priests in the temple, Xinshan and Green Tea, disappeared for no reason. Their whereabouts are unknown, and they do not know whether they are dead or alive.

This matter has been reported to the Daoting Governor's Office, and people have been sent out to investigate, but there is no clue and it has become an unsolved case.

Under the rule of the dynasty, although the situation was getting better year by year, there was never a shortage of unsolved cases. Almost all of these cases were related to evil spirits and evil spirits, and subsequently became taboo and no longer talked about.

Two Taoists encountered an unexpected incident, and the Yunshan Taoist Temple suffered the greatest loss. Although they were not worthy of their name and their strength was not satisfactory, they were Taoist priests with official status after all. The Taoist priests in the temple only had a few people, and they lost two at once, and their strength was greatly reduced.

, it will be at a disadvantage in the competition with other Taoist temples in the future.

These days, there is a shortage of new Taoist priests, and there are fewer and fewer Taoist priests every year. It is not easy to recruit new Taoist priests and add fresh blood.

…

It was rare to get clear today, and the sun came out, but the climate was still cold, and the mountain wind blew like a knife.

Song Tianfu was fat and bloated. He looked like a rice dumpling. He wore a fur hat and his neck was tucked into his coat. His small eyes looked enviously at Chen Youniao, who was dressed tall and straight beside him. He only felt that this

Brother Chen's temperament is becoming more and more free and unrestrained, calm and calm, and he has a vague sense of being out of the world.

There is no doubt that this is a sign of cultivation and improvement.

Song Tianfu didn't know what was going on in his practice, but he felt that Chen Youniao was unfathomable, and he was very glad that he gave the account as a favor.

Ever since his uncle Song Ziyin met with an accident, Mr. Song's health has been deteriorating. Today, Song Tianfu seems to be in charge of the Song family.

In Haidai County, the Song family is considered a wealthy family, with great wealth. However, when facing Chen Youniao, Song Tianfu did not dare to neglect at all. He kept his posture low, and when Chen Youniao called, he immediately accompanied him.

In the past, Song Tianfu had a bad impression of Yunshan Temple, mainly because he had no impression of the Xinshan Taoist priests. He felt that they did not have much real ability and were just relying on their status to make money. However, Song Tianfu did not know the true strength of the Taoist temple. After all, he was

With limited qualifications, it is difficult to get in touch with real cultivators. I followed you today with the intention of borrowing Chen Youniao’s light to deal with people and see the world.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and everyone walked up the mountain and climbed the stairs.

The mountain is high and the road is far, so it is not easy to walk.

Song Tianfu had practiced martial arts and had some basic martial arts skills, but that was all. He was completely incomparable to Chen Youniao.

"Brother Tianfu, do you want us to take a break?"

Chen Youniao asked.

"No, I have medicine."

Song Tianfu took a breath, reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, opened the cork, poured out a pill, and swallowed it in one gulp: "This is the Yuan-Buying Pill."

With that said, he even handed over the bottle.

Chen Youniao took it, looked at it, smelled it, and then returned it immediately: "I don't need it."

The so-called Bu Yuan Dan is just a drug found in the martial arts world. It contains a tiny bit of spiritual energy and has no effect on him.

Song Tianfu carefully put the porcelain vase back into his arms and placed it close to his body, but it was very precious.

This is the difference between different classes of people.

After taking the medicine, Song Tianfu quickly became energetic, took big steps, and continued to climb the mountain.

Yunshan Taoist Temple is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is located halfway up the mountain. It is hosted and managed by ordinary Taoists and is responsible for the people's incense offerings. Ordinary people come to worship gods here.

Real ascetics live in the inner courtyard on the top of the mountain, and ordinary people are not allowed to report there, and cannot go up at all.

"You two want to go up the mountain?"

An old Taoist with a mustache in the outer courtyard took a look and subconsciously regarded the wealthy Song Tianfu as the real master. As for Chen Youniao, he was just a handsome young man.

"The top of the mountain is the important place of the Immortal Family. There is absolutely no way you can go up there."

The old Taoist with a mustache said seriously, and then lowered his voice: "But if you can donate a large amount of money for incense, I can inform you and ask an immortal to come down and talk to you. This is a rare opportunity. If you can get the immortal

May you always be favored and your blessings will be endless."

In the minds of ordinary people, Taoist priests are already ranked among the "immortals".

Song Tianfu blinked and asked, "How much do I need to donate for incense?"

"At least this number..."

The old man with a mustache held out five fingers.

Song Tianfu took a breath: "Five hundred taels?"

"That's right. If you have a favorite immortal leader and designate it, you'll have to add one hundred more."

The old man with a mustache is obviously used to doing this.

Song Tianfu asked again: "Anyone can be invited?"

The old Taoist's face was serious: "You are so rude, what do you think Yunshan Taoist Temple is? Can you just look at the sign? There are many immortals, but you can see them if you want? There are only two or three of them."

"

Chen Youniao couldn't help laughing when he heard this conversation.

With the establishment of the Taoist court and the decline of magic, it has become inevitably entangled with the secular world. Due to the cutoff of their future, the lower-level ascetics turned around one after another and began to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world.

A luxurious life requires money.

It's either talisman money or ordinary gold and silver treasures.

Over time, many Taoist temples became places for Taoist priests to make money and opened their doors for business.

At this point, it is the same whether it is Taoism or the long-lost Buddhism.

Things and relationships in the world are confusing and bizarre. In essence, it is just a business, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing Chen Youniao laughing, the old Taoist with a mustache immediately became angry: "Whose family are you? You dare to come here to seek entertainment?"

Song Tianfu coughed dryly and stopped pretending: "I am Song Tianfu of the Song family. As for this person, haha, he has a great background. He is the newly promoted Taoist priest and immortal chief this year, Chen Youniao."

The old Taoist with a mustache was shocked when he heard this.

Every time the Taoist Governor's Office issues a new status certificate, it will be registered in the register, and then the documents will be widely distributed to inform various Taoist temples. Therefore, the name "Chen Youniao" has long been known to the people of Yunshan Taoist Temple, but they have never seen it.

I didn't expect him to be such a young and handsome boy.

At that moment, Chen Youniao revealed his identity card.

When the old Taoist saw it, he no longer had any doubts, and his attitude immediately became solemn and respectful. These Taoists who were doing chores in the outer courtyard were actually Taoist boys who had failed to get started. It was okay to fool the common people, but when they met a real practitioner, they immediately responded.

Original form.

Chen Youniao said: "I want to meet with your family's master, Taoist Master Yunya. Please let me know."

The old Taoist nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Chen Xianchang, wait a moment, I will send the message immediately."

Saying that, he ran out anxiously.
